Hey, Lady - subscribed! I'm dying to see how this all turns out & what your final yield is. Always fun to see a fellow female grower on these here sites!
Trichomes & Harvest:
All pictures are of plants from Units 1 and 2. This is at 100x magnification
It appears that the trichomes on our plants in Units 1 and 2 have turned cloudier making me think I may be harvesting those two units on schedule around day 50 as I think a few more days would...
Veg Room & mother plants
Veg Room
In the veg room all mothers have been topped to 3 nodes & are bushing out wonderfully - even little C99 x BB 'echo' was topped & has survived the chop so far (thankfully - he's the one I had to re-root) Since it is just as easy for me to keep 15 mothers as...
Units 3 & 4
Unit 3
Units 3 and 4, in their 3rd and 4th week respectively, have shot up considerably. I bent the stems down - sideways really, of some of the tallest plants that did not seem controllable by tying alone. I did this with C99 X BB 'echo' & other plants in Unit 2 early in flower...

Today Unit 3 and the unit in the veg room had their reservoirs changed, unit 3 to aggressive...
Hey there Georgi,
Thank you so much, it gives me confidence to know that I'm on the right track - it's be a lot of work, the start up - I'm glad you'll be celebrating for me!
I'll be keeping the eyeclops pictures coming as I think they're a pretty useful resource and there aren't that many...
Well, it's my first grow, but I'm very pleased with the C99 and the C99 crosses. They're pretty hardy & forgiving to a newcomer, I'd surely recommend it & the early smoke reports I'm getting back indicate that it's pretty damn good stuff. Plus it smells sweet.
Great picture! What would you say the stage your trichomes are at? I'll definitely be watching this thread as I'm about a week or two away from my own projected harvest of satviva & sativa dominant strains. I was going to get some Arjan's Haze #3, but it didn't work out that way. What stage...
Here are some pictures of the trichomes of the C99 'pineapple' plant that was smoked by the "lab rats" that they recorded as being quite potent. Watch for the pictures at the end - I managed to snag them at 400X magnification, all others including those up until now have only been 200X as the...
Initially I was thrown by the appearance of amber heads this early in groups 1 & 2. I didn't expect that. The first place I'd look for the cause would be at the UVB. One thing I know, the trichomes I've gotten into clear focus look very clear to me. There also appears to be some true...
Not much to tell in the Veg room, all the mothers, save C99 X BB 'echo' - the newest transplant have been topped above their third node in the hopes of producing bushy plants. I thought it was risky to transplant from the aerocloner directly into the Hydroton with no Rockwool intermediary step...
Unit 3 is at the start of the third week as of this day. All plants are doing well and drinking a lot of water at this time in their lives. I took cuttings for clones from one plant in the unit despite it being 2 weeks into flower because it had a thick meristem & so far, what I've seen is the...
11/22/09 Update
End of fifth week of flowering, beginning of sixth week of flower for Units 1 & 2
End of second week of flowering, beginning of third week of flower for Unit 3
End of first week of flowering, beginning of second week of flower for Unit 4
Well let me say first off, now I...
One last try on the yellowing leaves situation: Normal N loss during flower, disease or both?
*All pictures are of the C99 'grapefruit' plant on two particular bud sections:
C99 'grapefruit' bud, chlorotic leaves - this is typical of all the branches on this plant.
I had mentioned before...
Clones of the last remaining strains taken
Second set of clones (new clones) taken in front - older clones in back tray
Regarding this last crop of mother plant cuttings I kept 4 Apollo 11's, 2 Blue Apollos and 2 Sugar Berrys. At first glance, the Sugar Berrys are twins, however, I have...
